Over the past few years I have accumulated quite a few make up brushes, especially eye brushes; but I of course have my favourites. I am at no means an expert at makeup, let alone eye makeup, however I have been wearing it almost everyday for the past year and I have my staples that I think everyone should own! So I created this little starter pack for you on 10 of my favourite eye brushes and they are all affordable too!
When I saw that Jaclyn Hill created a makeup tag, I knew it'd be a good'un! I thought it would be a great idea to get involved with the Ride or Die Makeup Tag! Click here to see the original video by Jaclyn. So below are all my 'Ride or Die' makeup items which I need to have in my collection at all times!
I know that Summer is almost coming to an end now but for those of you who are heading off on holiday to some warmer countries I thought this would be a good post to do! So recently I had a day out in Chessington Park: World of Adventures and as I was packing my handbag I was thinking of things that I would need throughout the day that weren't too heavy and didn't mean I had to keep running back to the car. Now luckily I didn't need to pack things like water because my star of a boyfriend was carrying those for me!
Brow Pomades have become a huge hit across the beauty world over the past few years with everyone jumping on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. But with drugstore companies catching on to this trend, they themselves have released their version of brow pomades. If you remember a while back I did a post about the Freedom Pro Pomade products and as promised I will compare these to the ABH dipbrow pomades.
With my 22nd birthday coming up in just under a month, I thought it would be a perfect time to share with you my current wishlist. This time I haven't kept it strictly beauty related just to change things up a bit!
Now that I am off work and waiting to start uni in September, I have decided to try and get back into my weekly diary posts. I've been going to a few different places and really trying to make the most of my summer.
Healthy Smoothie
I decided that I will try and get back into making smoothies. I have seen loads of recipes online for different healthy smoothies but to be honest, I've just been throwing in whatever fruits and veggies that I have lying around the house. This week I made a really tasty fruity smoothie which had 1 frozen banana, 3 slices of pineapple and 3/4 cup of frozen berries which I added some coconut water to to try and thin it down into more of a juice. It was so tasty and looked so good. This made enough for two tumblers of juice.
Salmon Salad
I've been wanting to get into meal planning for ages but to be quite honest, my week is so unplanned at the beginning of the week that I can never commit to eating certain meals. But while I was looking for recipe ideas for meal planning I came across Rachel Aust on YouTube and she had a great meal prepping video with some really good recipes including the Salmon and Rice dish. I pretty much copied the same ingredients, but used a pre-pack of rice which had black and red rice and quinoa too, then I just added chickpeas and kidney beans to give it more depth. It was actually quite tasty and really filling! My fussy-eater of a boyfriend approved too
Big Easy
I went to an amazing restaurant near Charring Cross station called Big Easy and I kid you not, it's the best casual place to go for some nice lobster! I actually went there quite early and was lucky enough to be able to choose from the 'pre-theatre' menu and get starters, a main and a drink all for £10! I'm not sure if it's only certain restaurants in London that do this, but if you can go for this menu I would definitely recommend it. I had the Calamari for starters and my boyfriend had the mussels and then we both got a lobster roll each.
It seems that this week all my events have been heavily food related! What did you get up to this week?
Love Always,

I know that NYX has been available on the Boots website for a while now, but I finally managed to pop into one of the stores that has a NYX counter. The Bond Street Boots is one of the stores, out of the 120 that hope to have NYX featuring in there store. The Bond Street store has got a huge variety of NYX products and great staff to help. I went in for just a browse and of course ended up buying a few products.
